When Inspired Styles came out in 2007 I wanted to buy it so badly but the $60 price tag always had be putting it back on the shelf and choosing another one in the $30 - $40 range. Well, last month I thought about it again and was thrilled to find used copies on Amazon starting at 15.99!

Inspired Styles features the work of 15 top-notch designers with large, luscious photography and pages devoted (like the book cover shot) to places and objects that inspire their work. The designs are classic and 7 years after its publication date, I'm happy to finally add it to my collection. Here's just a few images from the book:

And, speaking of Eric Cohler, I thumbed through a friend's copy of Cohler on Design the other day and I'm adding it to my must-get-soon list. So, any design books currently on your list or any book bargains you've found lately? Hope you have a great weekend! Michele
